Usage

Description

Beclobrate is a hypolipidemic agent structurally related to clofibrate, which is useful in managing types IIa-V hyperlipoproteinemias and promoting the normalization of the atherogenic index.

Uses

Used in Pharmaceutical Industry:
Beclobrate is used as a hypolipidemic agent for managing types IIa-V hyperlipoproteinemias, helping to normalize the atherogenic index and reduce the risk of atherosclerosis and related cardiovascular diseases.

Originator

Siegfried AG (Switzerland)

Manufacturing Process

87.0 g (0.4 mol) of 4-chloro-4'-hydroxydiphenylmethane are heated together with 27.0 g (0.2 mol) of anhydrous potassium carbonate in 350 ml of anhydrous xylene for 30 min to reflux temperature, whereafter a solution of 83.5 g (0.4 mol) of 2-bromo-2-ethyl-2-methyl acetic acid ethyl ester in 50 ml of anhydrous xylene is added. The mixture is kept for 24 hours and with vigorous stirring at reflux temperature. After filtering off the precipitated potassium bromide and evaporating the solvent in a Buchi rotary evaporator, the residue is taken up in ether and extracted with normal sodium hydroxide solution. The ether extracts are washed with water, dried over MgSO4 and concentrated by evaporation. The brown oil (82.0 g) thereby obtained is dissolved in n-hexane and filtered through a column of 200 g of basic Al2O3. After evaporating the solvent and distillation at reduced pressure, 34.7 g of pure ethyl (+/-)-2-((α-(p-chlorophenyl)-p-tolyl)oxy)-2-methylbutyrate are obtained with the boiling point 200-204°C/0.01-0.1 mm Hg.

Therapeutic Function

Antihyperlipidemic

World Health Organization (WHO)

Beclobrate, an antihyperlipidaemic agent, was introduced into medicine in 1985. Although a causal relationship between the use of the drug and hepatic toxicity has not been established, the Intercantonal Office for the Control of Medicines has withdrawn marketing authorization since safer therapeutic alternatives are available. Beclobrate is not registered elsewhere.

The diarylmethane compounds provided by the invention contain electron withdrawing groups and an electron-donating group substituted diarylmethane basic structure, and can be widely used for synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates, particularly polysubstituted methane compounds, and preparation of functional materials; and the preparation method has a simple process and low requirements for reaction conditions, the reaction process is safe and controllable, the atomic utilization rate and production efficiency are high, the regioselectivity and stereoselectivity of the products are efficiently ensured, a frontier science small-molecule organocatalysis concept is introduced, and the method is friendly to the environment.

B(C6F5)3 catalysed reduction of: Para -quinone methides and fuchsones to access unsymmetrical diaryl- and triarylmethanes: Elaboration to beclobrate

A mild and efficient method for the synthesis of unsymmetrical diaryl- and triarylmethanes through a B(C6F5)3 catalyzed reduction of para-quinone methides and fuchsones respectively, using the Hantzsch ester as a reducing source has been developed. Detailed mechanistic investigations revealed that the reaction actually proceeds through a Lewis acid-base pair complex derived from B(C6F5)3 and the Hantzsch ester.

Benzylation of arenes with benzyl halides synergistically promoted by in situ generated superacid boron trifluoride monohydrate and tetrahaloboric acid

To examine the assembly methodology of diarylmethanes, a benzylation of (hetero)arenes with benzyl halides has been developed and various diarylmethanes were furnished with yields of up to 98% and regioselectivities of up to >99%. The complexation of the by-product halogen hydride with BF3·OEt2 generated the Bronsted acid BF3·HX (HBF3X, X=Cl or Br) in situ to synergistically promote the benzylation.
